Billing and Insurance

"The privilege of a lifetime is to be who you are." Joseph Campbell Most of us grew up learning who we were somehow wasn't quite okay. To adapt and survive we learned to adopt a false self in order to gain the love and approval of our peers and caregivers, to fit into our culture and to minimize the pain we were in. But wholeness and happiness are our birthrights. Healing is the process of recovering the true self, so that we can begin to live authentically and flourish, instead of just cope and survive. The therapeutic relationship allows for the development of a healing, trusting alliance where the hurts of the past can be worked through and resolved. Old, out-moded patterns of thought, feeling and behavior can then be released, new skills acquired, and the true self recovered and expressed. Together we explore the beliefs and patterns that hinder you from living fully, that keep you 'safe' and separate from self and others, and from fully experiencing, expressing and enjoying your unique self. As you become aware of and reclaim the parts of yourself that you have repressed, numbed or disowned, you are able to move toward a deeper sense of self-love, awareness, personal empowerment and integrity, internally, and in your relationships with others. This allows for an increased capacity to make more effective, self-honoring choices, so you are able to create a more authentic, fulfilling, joyful life-- a deeper sense of emotional, mental, physical and spiritual integration, which becomes the experience of Coming Home.
